“I've dined here almost weekly for near 2 years. It's been consistently good food and good vibes. I will say that weekends specifically evening it can get extremely busy wait time can be up to 30 minutes or more. If that doesn't put you off then I'd say you'd enjoy the food. I usually alternate between a quesadilla or enchiladas rojas al estilo matamoros. It's good and it's not pricey.”
“Can get loud with live Mariachis. Food was good
Lots of food options to choose. Margaritas were good. Recommend the pitcher!”
“First time visiting. Glad for the local recommendation. Loved the atmosphere - immediately transported to a different vibe when you enter thru the doors. We got the pork chop platter, tacos and torta. The family cleaned their plates. Can’t wait to try the ceviche next time and other items on the menu. Friendly and kind staff - mainly spoke Spanish but will be able to accommodate basic service in English. We knew enough to communicate in Spanish.”
“There was a piece of a rubber glove 🧤 finger in my torta. Not cool Tacos Matamoros. Also, the cook doesn’t know what over medium eggs are.”
“After always eating tacos from the trucks, decided to try restaurant taco. Tacos were good but I guess our expectations were too high. Honestly the taco trucks on 5th ave might have the edge. Nachos were really good, especially the green sauce, a real good kick.”
“the staff are really sweet & attentive ! food was served quick & was nothing short of delicious :) .”
“Tacos Matamoros is one of the most authentic and tastiest spots in the area. The food is full of flavor, the prices are fair, and the atmosphere is pure Sunset Park energy. Yes, it gets loud — but that’s part of the charm! Between the flowing margaritas, the laughter, and the surprise visits from mariachis, it’s not just a restaurant — it’s an experience.
Perfect for big families or anyone craving a true local vibe. And seriously — don’t leave without trying at least one margarita.”

“So so so good. Everything hit. The carne asada had a great char flavor and despite being a thin cut it which usually is so dry, it was so juicy. The rice and beans are so flavorful as well. It also comes with guca and pico which I love for the freshness. The enchiladas with red sauce was such a big plate. Great flavor and comes with lots of lettuce, cheese, sour cream and avocado which really balances it out. The pastor tacos were also really good. Also got horchatas and wow those are huge just get the small bc large is the size of a 7 eleven slurpee. Total for soooo much food (we were starving so we ordered a lotttt) was $25pp. Be warned tho a Mariachi band might come in and play really loud…”
